Mingyu Building, a high-end meeting room.
The previously dimmed projection flickered back to life, and the light and shadow on the screen gathered once more.
Four figures sat in the center, replaying a video.
In the image, a young man reached out his hand. Silver-white light surged into the demon core, and the once-gray core was restored to vitality.
“This is defying fate! A dead demon core brought back to life—in the ten thousand years of the abnormal ability world, has this ever happened before?”
One of them said excitedly.
“But strictly speaking, there have been a few similar incidents. The most recent was eighty years ago. Not only did both Buddhist and Daoist sects suffer heavy losses, but we also lost a diviner.”
“Yes, there was a ripple in the omens three years ago, but it quickly vanished. This time, it has truly appeared before us.”
Both of them looked at a beautiful young woman at the same time.
They knew that this young man was the child she had adopted.
“We must suppress this matter and ensure he can grow up safely.”
Another person said in a deep voice.
If the news got out, even the normally indifferent Buddhist and Daoist sects might personally come down to snatch the boy.
The meeting lasted until dawn.
Almost all discussions revolved around Qin Luo.
However, none of the four noticed.
In the upper-left corner of the video, there was another figure watching from a distance.
Due to the angle and shadows, it wasn’t conspicuous.
Only the lower half of the figure was visible, but it was still impressive.
Especially those long legs in black stockings—exceptionally alluring.
***
As expected, Qin Luo had exhausted too much energy and fell asleep again.
He didn’t know how long he slept.
Half-conscious, he suddenly felt his fingertips touch something smooth and soft.
What is this?
Driven by curiosity, he subconsciously squeezed.
The touch was like mutton-fat jade, hard to let go of.
He immediately stroked it.
Faintly, he heard a soft moan.
It sounded like Sister’s voice.
But not quite.
Too charming and sweet.
He had never heard Sister speak in that tone.
At that moment, he felt like an explorer.
A sentence suddenly surfaced in his mind:
‘Why do people climb mountains? Because the mountain is there.’
Before he fell back into sleep again.
He vaguely heard Sister whisper softly:
“Such a naughty little puppy~”
***
When he woke again, the feeling of weakness returned.
Qin Luo was completely numb.
He tried to get up, but found a long, fair leg pressing down on him.
No need to guess.
The person beside him was definitely Sister.
He turned his head, and the familiar stunning face came into view.
Although he had always been unconvinced by Sister in his heart, he had to admit—
This face was truly beautiful beyond words.
Especially that mature, seductive aura and that exaggerated figure.
The number of people pursuing Sister was countless.
But Sister had never even glanced at them.
As Sister herself put it:
“They’re not even worthy of being dogs.”
And since she called him “little puppy,” he should feel honored.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo suddenly got angry.
‘How dare she treat me like a dog and be so proud of it!’
But when he saw her peaceful sleeping face, the anger in his heart dissipated without him noticing.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Her red lips glistened with moisture.
Parted slightly.
Tempting a person to explore.
Just as Qin Luo was staring a bit too intently.
Sister suddenly opened her eyes.
A hint of playfulness flashed in her gaze.
“The moment I open my eyes, I see my little brother staring at me~”
“Bad little brother, are you trying to do something naughty to your sister?”
Caught red-handed, Qin Luo immediately looked away.
“N-No.”
Bai Jingyu smiled softly.
Her little brother’s stubbornness only made it more interesting.
With personality like this, teasing him was fun.
She slowly sat up.
Her jet-black hair cascaded down.
Her clothes were a bit rumpled from sleeping.
The hem of her shirt was slightly rolled up, revealing her slender waist.
Her skin was fair and delicate.
Then, she pulled the blanket over, looked down at the boy who had just averted his eyes, and gently rubbed her lower abdomen with her palm.
“Speaking of which, in the middle of the night last night, someone’s little paws were very naughty~”
With a bang, Qin Luo suddenly remembered something.
His mind went blank.
He swallowed hard.
‘Does that mean everything I experienced last night… was real?!’
He subconsciously looked at Sister’s lower abdomen.
Perfect, slender waist.
And further up, stunning curves.
“I… I need to pee! I’m going to the bathroom!”
Qin Luo fled in panic.
Bam—
The door slammed shut.
The next second.
The figure on the bed suddenly trembled.
“Ha… hahaha~”
A bell-like laughter echoed through the room.
Bai Jingyu laughed so hard her whole body shook.
A faint blush appeared on her exquisite, beautiful face.
Her eyes were full of amusement.
When the laughter finally subsided, she recalled what had happened last night, and the blush on her face deepened.
“Such a contradictory little puppy.”
“But… is he that shy~?”
***
In the bathroom.
Qin Luo let out a long breath.
He had almost been too embarrassed to face anyone.
Good thing he was quick-witted and used the bathroom excuse to escape.
He looked down at his right hand.
The soft, smooth feeling from last night seemed to return.
“No, no, no!”
Qin Luo shook his head frantically.
‘Too lewd! Too absurd! It must have been my sleepy mind playing tricks! Yes, that’s definitely it!’
He quickly washed his face with cold water to calm himself down.
‘Sure enough, she’s a seductress! But who am I? I’m Qin Luo! These are all just pink skeletons! They’re just fat! Just fat! Nothing attractive about them!’
***
When he walked out of the bathroom.
Sister still hadn’t gotten up.
Based on his understanding of her, she was probably going to sleep in.
So Qin Luo started preparing breakfast.
Or rather, brunch.
Because it was almost eleven.
During this time, someone sent him a message.
He looked—it was from Sister Rong.
She told him the mission was completed and the points had been credited.
Then Qin Luo opened the Four Symbols App and entered the mission interface.
Sure enough, a checkmark appeared.
“Strange… I didn’t do that myself?”
The only explanation was that Sister had submitted the mission for him while he was asleep.
“Damn it! She went through my phone again!”
Qin Luo became alert immediately.
He immediately turned on incognito browsing mode.
This move could be described as “hurting the enemy a thousand, losing oneself eight hundred.”
But there was no choice.
‘If I shatter my bones, I’m not afraid—I want to leave my innocence on earth!’
Just in case that woman went to complain to Little Aunt, and Little Aunt started lecturing him about having a proper view on love.
Incidentally, he uploaded all kinds of study materials to the cloud.
He especially deleted all chat records with a few girls.
Qin Luo thought he was foolproof.
But inside the room.
Bai Jingyu was holding her phone, her red lips curling upward.
Even though her fingers weren’t touching the screen.
The phone interface was operating on its own.
It was even recording the screen.
Look closely, and you’d see—
The interface on her phone was exactly the same as the one on Qin Luo’s phone.
She gently curved her lips.
“Little puppy, you didn’t really think that would stop me from knowing what was on your phone before, did you?”
“My dear little brother, you really are naive~”
